Super Neptunia RPG delayed yet again, PS4 version will have two scenes mildly censored for the west

maxresdefault.jpg

Fall 2018 was when RPG fans were due to get their hands on Super Neptunia RPG, a sidescrolling turn-based game featuring the quirky cast of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. Unfortunately, the game was delayed at the last second, pushing it back to a tenuous "spring 2019" window. Now, we're facing the same situation once more, as Super Neptunia RPG's launch date has been changed to summer 2019, meaning a delay of almost a full year for the localization alone. To make up for that, Idea Factory International has announced that the game will be coming to Steam at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions. An exact reason for the delay was not disclosed, but the company did mention that the game will be modified in the west, but only on the PS4. Two CG scenes from the Japanese version have been "slightly censored" to comply with Sony's rules, though this will be the only change from the original release. Those playing on Nintendo Switch and PC will be unaffected by this.

Story
The self-proclaimed hero, Neptune, awakes in a familiar world, but has no recollection of anything other than her name. With the help of a mysterious girl named Chrome, as well as three other familiar faces beloved in the Neptunia™ series, Neptune embarks on a journey through the mysterious dimension to try to regain her memory.

Little do they know, the world they inhabit is under attack by an enemy who wants to take civilization back to the time where 2D reigns supreme.

Can Neptune and her friends save the world and 3D games as we know it, or will they be flattened into two dimensions forever?

I mean its not a huge loss they probably just censored some artwork like bathing scripts or dogoos ticking them ;) Now if we were talking about Senran Kagura, Moe Chronicle, or Dead or Alive Xtreme thats a bigger deal.

Well this is the consequence of leaving Playstation America to lead this generation, but also the great sales is thanks to them...so...

Sony is the entire reason the Switch is a success. Because Nintendo don't give two shits what's in your game unlike Sony.

Oh, c'mon. It just some sick pedo fap material being removed, it not a big deal.

Now excuse me, I have to go back to my game and torture those AI n**** while enjoy their suffering. God bless America for this.

Tbh it's worth Sony "slightly censoring 2 CGs" so I can sit back and see how salty nerds get over something so pointless.

Sony has gone full retard in recent years but people really need to pick their battles sometimes. Or not, it's a lot funnier if you don't I suppose.

Leaving aside "stand tall or don't stand at all" there is an argument for fighting the little cases. That being when something properly troubling happens (and at this point it is probably inertia that is keeping Sony going as from what we have seen they have thoroughly pissed off a few of their stalwarts with said actions so... sooner or later) you can turn around and drop a stack of previous cases on their desk and have some precedent in your favour.

Well, given what little I've played of the game series, they're already somewhere between 0 and 1 dimensional characters, so it wouldn't be a great lost. *sigh* Seriously, looking at the game my first reaction was how it looked like Legend of Mana. Then I looked at Legend of Mana gameplay and realized that looked better. "Oh, but it's supposed to reference the SNES!" Uh, yea, then it looks wrong for a whole other set of reasons. *sigh*

Actually they have. In the Anime.

Only 3 people so far are underage. It's the Twins and Uni. The rest are over 18. Because they needed to enter R18 island (the entrance scene is hilarious btw)

They don't have a canon age at all

The CPU/Candidates are ageless thus they remain the same forever (unless they feel like change them)

The reason why Uni, Rom and Ram didn't go to the island is because the security system assumes that flat chested girls are children (which is why Blanc had to destroy it)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Maybe if we add some blood, a broody father figure and some political shit it may be allowed to go uncensored?

sony have been really shooting themselves in the foot during the past year
if only they moved somewhere else in the us

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Isnt the majority of the censorship due to characters being despicted as minors? Anyway, have fun watching your weeb porn in games, probably one of the resorts of nintendo to keep the switch relevant.
also on pc :)

Darn was hoping to start this series on switch while I travel, I guess I can start on PS Vita though. Anyone who has played all the games in the series know which game is a good starting point?

I have no idea about the game, but I'm certain people here don't really fornicate underage anime girls in a virtual setting.

That backhand slap looks bad.

And I believe you missed the point. Be pure, my brother. Keep yourself clean.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
